Fortunately, general manager John Schneider has assembled a deep roster capable of sustaining Harvin's loss. The sky isn't falling on the Seahawks. They still have enough talent to hang with a San Francisco 49ers team that also lost its top receiver, Michael Crabtree.

As long as Sidney Rice returns from his non-surgical knee procedure in time for Week 1 -- as expected -- the Seahawks will enter the season with essentially the same offense that averaged 32.4 points per game over the final 10 games of the 2012 season (including the playoffs).

To be fair, though, Harvin was a big part of what coordinator Darrell Bevell planned to do with a more creative offense this season. Prior to his season-ending ankle injury in 2012, Harvin was tied for the NFL lead in receptions, first in yards after the catch, second in kickoff return average and second in receiving yards.
